Hey everyone this is my first post on the forum but have been having fun looking around. I purchased a 2014 ram sport about 3 days ago.... and im already ready to start tearing into the stereo haha.. cant help myself and i have a ton of gear i just took out of my old car. Now im thinking about doing this build in possibly two stages..
Stage one -
Swap out rear 6x9s with 6.5" Hertz Hi-Energy Coax
Swap out front 6x9s with 6.5" Hertz Hi-Energy Components and either put the tweeters in the dash location or in the door sill and leave the dash speakers unplugged ( I would wire the crossover input from the door stock wires, i think they are full range)
This in theory will maintain the 4 ohms required in the back and will lower the load on the front to 4ohm but it wont be isolated on the dash speakers and should still balance decent.
Stage two -
Either add the AmpPac Pro and run RCAs to amps (Great new device for non premium systems) - https://catalog.pac-audio.com/catalog/amppro-amplifier-interfaces/ap4-ch41-r2
Or add a Audiocontrol DM-810..
This is where im not sure what to do. Because obviously having the tune-ablilty of the DSP is valuable however i would like to not have to splice OEM wires. If added the both i could run optical from the PAC Pro to the DSP but thats an additional 350 in cost.
Then once i got my interfacing figured out i have a left over JL xd400/4 for the speakers and JL HD750/1 or MTX 1501D for the subs. Most likely i will try to go with 2 12" under the seat. I like the ported foxbox.
Let me know what you guys think and if you have any suggestions or have done anything similiar.
cheers
